What’s all this about some magic in the hills?

I keep hearing about Nevada City being the next place to disappear and get your spiritual & creative kicks realigned. In fact I’ve been hearing of NC as the ‘next’ forever. So, what’s up with a tiny gold-rush town that breathes in dreamers and breathes out such talents as Joanna Newsom, Jonathan Dayton, and Tahiti Pehrson? And why are its residents so pleased that we never actually become the next big thing?
